Toyota pitman arm question

To the best of my knowledge to use a High Steer kit on a Toyota you have to have a drop hanger of at least 2-3 inches or have lift springs with a minimum of 4 inches and bump stopped in order to keep parts from binding. Does this answer your Question ?

U don't need all that lift... Notch your core support and move box another 1/2-3/4" forward... Will fix your issues... And will not hurt the core support... I think rear springs move axle 3" so the box needs to go farther... Last one I did I had to notch core support and body mount but had just enough lift to clear 35s with some trimming... And he basically daily drives it

if you get trail gears drop hanget you wont have to mess with core support or body mountd, and it doesnt give you much more lift. I used it on the 85 yota i had

It just has the factory packs right now. I am planning on adding a leaf or two in order to bring it up a little. I'll hack on the core support a little since that is free and I don't have to wait on a part to show up. I'll look at installing bump stops as well.
